About Ragi Kadirgamar
With a gentle presence and compassionate heart, Ragi Kadirgamar has devoted his life to sharing the timeless wisdom of Advaita - non duality, the beautiful understanding that we are all One. As a beloved student of the late Ramesh Balsekar, Ragi carries forward a sacred lineage of awakening that flows through Nisargadatta Maharaj and countless awakened beings who have walked this path before us.
What makes Ragi's guidance so special is his understanding that Advaita isn't about complex philosophy or rigid doctrine. Instead, he offers it as a collection of gentle pointers and concepts, loving reminders to help you remember who you truly are - not as a separate, struggling individual, but as an inseparable part of the infinite whole that is Life itself.
Through his warm and accessible approach, Ragi invites you to discover the most profound truth: you are Consciousness experiencing itself, not a lonely fragment trying to find your way home. You are already home.
A Life-Changing Meeting with Ramesh Balsekar
In 2004, Ragi's spiritual journey took a profound turn when he first encountered Ramesh Balsekar, the devoted disciple and principal translator of Nisargadatta Maharaj. What began as a single meeting blossomed into years of deep connection that would forever shape Ragi's understanding of the fundamental nature of life.
During those precious years with Ramesh, Ragi absorbed the very essence of living from this understanding. Ramesh became not just a teacher but a living example of the freedom that comes from recognizing our true nature as consciousness, the self, not separate entities struggling through life.
Healing Through Understanding
What touches people most deeply about Ragi's work is his genuine care for human suffering. He knows intimately how the mind can create endless cycles of worry, fear, and separation. With infinite patience and understanding, he helps you see through the stories your mind tells, guiding you to recognize the peace that has always been your true nature.
His teaching isn't about adding more knowledge to your already busy mind. Instead, it's about helping you understand how your thoughts and emotions work, how relationships truly function, and most importantly, how to find that deep, unshakeable peace that exists beyond all the mental noise.
When you sit with Ragi or listen to his teachings, you often find that the heavy burden of trying to "fix" yourself simply melts away, replaced by a profound recognition that you were never broken to begin with.
Professional Background
Beyond his spiritual work, Ragi is also a professional architect and continues part time his former career undertaking small scale projects. He specializes in modern buildings, and wherever possible includes energy efficient and eco-friendly strategies. Hi built work is mainly in Singapore, India and Sri Lanka. His architectural expertise includes environmental consulting, and served as ministerial advisor.
In the past he offered personal development 'training' to organizations, demonstrating how spiritual principles can be integrated into practical, everyday applications.
